A steel player who is also funny, now that is seldom seen.
Slim is an excellent player. There seems to be so many great players come out of the UK. I had no idea until I got on here.
Great stuff! |

John; thanks so much for spot lighting Slim here on our SGF. I didn't realize you folks from across the water had such a fine sense of humor. This guy is sensational as a club act and also a great steel guitarist. And no singers are required, for folks to enjoy a good country band. I nearly fell off my stool laughing at some of Slim's jokes.Send us some more of this entertainer..Bernie
